You may be in the mood to spring clean your home, but instead of the usual process of decluttering your bedroom wardrobe, why not try some Feng Shui principles to create an inviting atmosphere?
Follow these simple tips to create an oasis in your home, for minimal cost and effort.
1. Ditch the clutter
The most amazing and cleansing thing you can you in your room is declutter to create a sense of peace and order.
According to Japanese organizer Marie Kondo, author of ‘The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up’- “By doing this, you can reset your life and embark on a new lifestyle”.
2. Bed type and placement
According to the Feng Shui principles, placement of the bed is crucial, as it reflects your wealth, health, and love life.
Your bed should be placed at the furthest point of the room, facing the door but not in line with it.
It should also be a good height to allow energy to pass under, choose a natural material, like wood, with a sturdy headboard for support.
3. Choose quality linen
Bed linen of a pure material, like cotton or linen create an ambiance of their own.
Whilst they can be an investment, they also bring tranquillity during the most important time – when you are sleeping.
4. Think neutral, soothing colour tones
Feng shui specialists recommend warm earth and skin tones such as cream, peach and tan, as well as light blue and gray as they create a welcoming and peaceful atmosphere.
5. Pair your accessories
Decorate in pairs, use identical bedside tables and lamps to create symmetry and balance.
6. Use scented candles
Scented candles are known in Feng Shui as the ideal bedroom lighting.
They clear energy, and also create a very warm and healing atmosphere
7. Replace technology with artwork
It is essential in Feng Shui to remove any technology, such as a television, a computer, or a phone, as they give off a lot of energy and create stress.
Instead having your favourite artist hanging on the wall and favourite books by your bedside enhances the feeling of relaxation.
8. Be mindful of mirrors
Bedroom mirrors are considered bad Feng Shui .
Mirrors reflect and bounce energy, which can keep you awake and restless.
If you must have a mirror in the bedroom, think about placing it behind closet doors.
9. Try a bedside rug if the floor is bare
Use a bedside rug to absorb energy before you get into bed, have one on each side of the bed if two people sleep there.
10. Keep dirty laundry out of sight.
Don’t let your dirty laundry pile in your bedroom, try minimising the impact of dirty laundry by keeping it in an lovely basket or hamper, preferably with a lid.
